I cut my teeth in the corporate world working for some exciting companies. One of my earlier roles was as a buyer for Dixons Stores Group, where I had the pleasure of dealing with Alan Sugar (now, Lord Sugar) in the days when he personally touted his product to electrical goods buyers, like me.

I’ve since held senior positions working mainly in Business and Market development roles for some large enterprise companies before entering the world of venture capital, helping fund and kick-start new businesses, mainly in technology before creating a spin out. 

Not known to ever shy away from a challenge, I now look forward to a new life in viticulture and winemaking where I hope to create some exciting wines and help raise awareness of our nascent, rapidly evolving British wine industry.
